Flames top defense prospect Tim Erixon got knocked out of the game on a hard hit into the end boards by Finland's Iiro Pakarainen just 14 seconds into the third period.
The players were chasing a dump-in and Pakarainen, finishing his hit, drove Erixon into the end boards. Erixon stayed down for a minute or two, then looked wobbly as he was helped off the ice.
More information if it becomes available.

Tim Erixon, who got run into the end boards in the third period of last night's game against Finland, will not play the rest of the camp. A Team Sweden official told NHL.com that Erixon lost conscious for a few moments on the ice and was still dizzy about two hours later. He also suffered a cut to his chin and has swelling around his right eye.
Doctors said Erixon could maybe play by the end of the camp, and the Calgary Flames' first-round pick reported feeling better today, but for precautionary reasons, he won't be playing the rest of the way here in Lake Placid.
Team USA is on the ice. I'll have more after their practice.

Thats what I thought when Lombardi came back to finish the game after Hatcher hatcheted him. Missed the entire next year IIRC.
Was it a penalty type play by Mr. Pakafudginen.
he sat out the lockout season with post-concussion syndrome. however, I'd say Lombardi is a reason why people should stop writing players off after they have a concussion, no matter the severity. He had a serious concussion, but has gone on to have a healthy NHL career ever since.

And on the other side is Daniel Tkaczuk, the Lindros brothers, etc.
I don't say to write off any player with a serious concussion, but it is worrying.
Yeah.. I wouldnt be too concerned with it. I have had 4 concussions in my life and i am just fineagasdgasdg.. sorry drooled on the keyboard and had to wipe it off.

Talked to Sweden defenseman Tim Erixon between periods and it's good to report the Calgary Flames prospect is feeling better after being run face-first into the boards in the second period of Monday's game against Finland.
Erixon said he lost consciousness on the ice and doesn't remember anything until he got back to the locker room. The area under his left eye is purple and he's got a cut next to the eye, but he said he has no vision problems, and when he woke up Tuesday morning, there were no headaches or dizziness.
Erixon won't play the rest of the tournament for obvious reasons, but said if the competition were more serious, he probably could have played.
"Of course, it's not the biggest tournament, they (doctors) know that," Erixon told NHL.com. "If it would have been the World Juniors, I probably could have played."
Dude when it comes to the Canucks, it could be a team of Adolf Hitler, Pol Pot, Augusto Pinochet, Josef Stalin and Kim Jong Il and if one of them scores against the Canucks you take it.

Also pretty sure Keith Primeau is another of the multiple Concussion brigade.
